Wrinkle-Free Travel Jumpsuit: My Island Dinner Uniform

As a resident of the gorgeous Florida Keys, I’ve struggled to find the perfect lightweight, cool, and stylish “uniform” to wear to the myriad outdoor restaurants and beach bars that make up our regular evening routine in the islands. After years of experimenting with various breezy dresses, flowy pants, and effortless tops, I’ve finally discovered my absolute favorite: a wrinkle-free black travel jumpsuit.

This miracle piece has quickly become my daily dinner outfit whenever we are in our Keys home. It’s equal parts comfortable, convenient, and chic. The lightweight, wrinkle-resistant fabric is ideal for the warm humid climate, the elastic waist with a subtle drawstring allows room for an extra bite or two of key lime pie without restriction, and the wide flowing legs keep me cool while looking elegantly draped over my body rather than clingy. I pair it with a pair of simple black slide sandals and an oversized designer straw tote for a minimalist and neutral look. It has a decidedly European vibe – perfect for leisurely dinners at our favorite open-air restaurants dotted along the water.

I especially love the versatility of the jumpsuit for island evenings. Dress it up with espadrille heels for a night out or toss on a gauzy kimono-style wrap for a beachy boho chic bonfire on the sand. While the jumpsuit itself is ideal for keeping cool in the balmy outdoor temperatures, I’ve learned it’s wise to also pack a light layer for the air conditioning blasting inside most restaurants and bars. Without fail, every establishment we duck into off the beach has the A/C cranked to teeth-chattering levels! A cashmere travel wrap or poncho is my essential accessory for surviving the abrupt climate change.

The slightly oversized but shapely silhouette of the jumpsuit is so flattering and moves beautifully with my body whether we’re swaying to live music or dashing back to our house through an inevitable evening shower. The fabric even miraculously resists most wrinkles despite being wadded up in my suitcase when traveling back and forth to the mainland.

Maybe it’s the salt air, the laid back beach vibe, or the night blooming jasmine on the gentle breeze, but I feel my most effortlessly stylish slipping into this versatile jumpsuit in the evenings on our little island. It has become my quintessential uniform for embodying easy, breezy effortless chic here in the Florida Keys. A little black jumpsuit, sunny skies, and swaying palm trees are my essential ingredients for relaxed yet elegant island style.

I am barely 5’1 with a 26” inseam and generally wear size 4P. All items fit TTS (true to size) unless otherwise stated.
